I had a friend (she was actually like a sister) who decided she didn't want to know me like that no more because I'm an Ahmadi. At the time it was one of the worst things to ever happen to me and deep down it still hurts now but I now realise that it was a blessing in disguise.

She questioned me and my beliefs but unfortunately despite having the utmost love for my beautiful jamaat, I only had the basic knowledge, which was not enough to answer her questions. So I decided it was time for me to know my beliefs and to be able to defend my religion.

I began researching and finding proof from the Quran that supports the death of Hazrat Isa (a.s) and proves the truth of Ahmadiyyat. I also started watching @ahmadianswers videos and can truly say these videos have enhanced my knowledge so much!

I now feel like I have the confidence and knowledge to be able to defend my jamaat and spread the true teachings of Islam. People can mock and hate us all they want but Allah's jamaat will be victorious.

We follow the true teachings of Islam and have accept the Messiah and Mahdi of Allah, which was prophesied by our beloved Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw).

Despite it being very hard receiving such hate and abuse, it only makes my belief stronger and reminds me that this is the kind of persecution the Holy Prophet Muhammad (saw) would often face but this did not stop him from conveying the message of peace.

What I thought to be one of the worst experiences of my life with my friend, it actually bought me closer to Islam and I will forever be grateful to Allah for this, Alhamdulillah. I will continue to defend and express my love for Jamaat Ahmadiyyat.

May Allah guide everyone to the true Islam and remove the veil from their hearts and eyes. Ameen. Lastly #AhmadisAreMuslims #AhmadiyyatTheTrueIslam
